(The Postcard Project)
Postcards were never just paper.
They were proof that someone thought of you from a world away. A mountain valley. A crowded street. A sunlit café. A snapshot pressed onto cardstock, carrying laughter, love, or longing across oceans. They made distance feel smaller.
The Postcard Project carries that same spirit.
Except it’s built with the tools we live in now. Think of it as a time capsule you can drop into someone’s day: a sound, a moment, the way light caught a window. It’s a way of saying "I’m here, and I want you to be here too even when you’re miles apart."
The idea started when I stumbled across a post by filmmaker @omgadrian on Threads. He called them ‘video postcards,’ short unpolished clips from his trip that felt raw and real. It inspired me to start recording ten-second clips of my own everyday moments.
My (very) humble beginnings
What stood out most in Adrian’s videos was the color. That curiosity pushed me to learn color correction in DaVinci Resolve, starting with RAW photos in Lightroom and then moving to ProRAW video once I upgraded my phone.

Along the way I learned how framing, light, and small details can shape a story. I began to see the difference between capturing a memory for myself and creating one that lets others step into the moment. That idea became the heart of The Postcard Project.
